Give And Take

I woke up rested and recharged,
made my way out of the forest.
It wasn't long after I stepped out,
when rifle's bullets sang a chorus.

Two men were taking shots at me,
across the field from a top a hill.
I'm elated to say that their attempts...
we're not a one shot kill.

Suddenly I remembered the encrypted note,
and held it high in the air.
"I have an encrypted note for a young man!"
I shouted, thinking my chances were fair.

The shots paused for a moment.
The situation was hard to make.
If this doesn't work I'm screwed.
Got no weapon for a give and take.
